Fan support would need to reach the next level for Mizzou to be a strong mid-tier SEC program, on par with Georgia, UT, Auburn, Arky, etc on a yearly basis (Bama, Florida, LSU are on another level). No more acting like we are too cool to attend XYZ bowl or to sell out for no-name university.
If you haven't personally experienced the SEC, it is hard to imagine how seriously these people take college sports. They are intense. These are the programs we would have to beat top recruits for.
Just think, last year Mizzou had a great year in attendance for us, ranking #25 nationally.
That would have ranked only 9th in the SEC though.
